Towing with 37’s

[GLMJR]

Got my 3” Cognito leveling kit going on this week and really want to go with Run the 37x12.50 Ridge Grapplers.

it’s a Duramax.

I do tow my 36’ work and play locally (usually within 100 miles) a few times a year. Trailer is heavy, roughly 15k loaded.

23’ boat when needed to come home for service few times a year also.

wondering if I’ll be ok with the 37’s or if i should stick to 35’s.

anyone else tow with 37’s on their truck?

many people say go with 37s.

i have a Cognito hybrid level. I stuck with 35s (295/65-20). I think it looks great, proportionally correct. Not stuffed like 37s.

these tires are 1" bigger than the factory 275/65s. my speedo is actually dead on accurate now. 

these will put less strain on the truck than 37s. 

IMO 35s are the way to go

Well after standing and staring at both the 295/65 and the 37x12.50

at Discount tire for the better part of an hour (while they dismounted my factory tires), called in my son for a second opinion i opted for the 37’s.

Update to my post.

The 37’s lasted 24 hours.

I rubbed both pulling into and backing out of my office this morning on the hard plastic behind mud guard and on the felt liner up front.

Went back this afternoon and swapped em for 295/65/20’s. Same tire smaller size.

The 37’s looked bad ass but I’m off camber too much at the deer lease and on the beach to worry about hitting harder since it was already making contact just turning on level pavement.

Here’s a pic of the 37’s (don’t mind me, sales guy at dealer requested it)

I’ll get another tomorrow with the 35’s that went on tonight.

37s look good, but I think the taller, skinnier 35s are the better choice.

 

my truck has 2.5/1.5 lift.

i had  3/2, but at 3"it was cranked too much. lowering it 1/2" is better, but made the rear too high with the 2" block
